Importance of Safety

I got this photo from a friend of a friend. It shows the importance of following the safety rules all the time.

1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger.
3. Point gun in safe direction all the time
4. Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. This includes your own body parts.

Why the heck would you break down a firearm with the magazine still in it?

And why wasn't it locked back?

Geez. Man, the only pistol that I have to pull the trigger to take it down is the Glock. And buddy, you can be assured that it's unloaded when I take it down (pull the trigger).

That's a pretty good point Wayne. My guess is that it was probably a glock. The guy may have removed the magazine (without taking the round from the camber), gripped the slide with his weak hand to push it 1/4 of an inch, and pull the trigger to unlock the mechanism.
